We all agree… It’s time for thinkin’ outside of the box….

Tariq had a plan……

Let’s use fantasy……

By: THE X-FACTOR GROUP Tariq, Nancy and Sandra

He answers our call to DEFEND the human race

WHENEVER he is need

People judge him…. The first thing they see

Is his face and his skin And they are

afraid

Before he was born his father was exposed to nuclear radiation from the power plant where he worked…

His Dad was lucky

to survive

His parents told him the story…...

In fact, there had been some “abnormalities” But it didn’t matterthey loved him no matter what.

He was a genius. He developed a superior intellect despite his bizarre physical traits

As he grew older he changed….. A Lot!

Now, he is tired-

He wants to know why he is this way

Let us help him understand

The biological reasons he Is the

THE BEAST….

He can find PEACE no where

The Cell

: Contains genetic material known as DNA

There are two kinds of cell division Mitosis and Meiosis

IN Mitosis cells make copies of themselves ( think of cancer or growth)

If you were born with a mutation what would happen with mitosis?

DO IT NOW:Using modeling clay pretend you have one DNA strand undergoing mitosis

1. It involves only sex cells (gametes) like sperm or ova

2. Genetic information gets switched around two times. Once during a process called crossing over and again when chromosomes line up during replication to split into two distinct cells

Crossing over helps ensure genetic diversity in a community which, in turn ,improves chances for viability

Meiosis is different

Somewhere in this process Hanks Dad’s genes were altered .

These changes were captured within one of his sperm as a genetic mutations.

These genetic mutation are what is responsible for the strange traits the beast displays…..
